Question I'm looking for a worthwhile RAM speed increase ?

[i6pwr]

I am currently using an Aorus Master X570 Motherboard, a Ryzen 5950X, and 32GB (4 x 8GB) RAM.

The rig runs well, but I have another build I can move my current RAM to so I'm debating upgrading mine. The RAM is GSkill Trident Neo Z:

I want to stay with at least 32 GB, either 2 or 4 sticks. The timings are already decent but looking at these or anything similar or faster.

Can the X570 mobo utilize RAM faster than 3600 with the Ryzen 5950X ?

All input appreciated

Iffy.....4700 is going above the supported speed for the cpu and the mobo.

3600 seems to be the sweet spot for ryzen.

Two sticks should overclock faster than four sticks. Buy 2 x 16GB, not 4 x 8GB if you're happy with 32GB. If you must buy four sticks, don't expect the fastest memory overclock. Four DIMMs place more load on the CPU's IMCs.

When buying four sticks, get a matched set of 4 DIMMs, not two potentially unmatched pairs of 2 DIMMs. If you don't buy 4 DIMMs in a single kit, there's no knowing what memory chips you'll end up with on two pairs.

Mismatched pairs can lead to instability setting in earlier, as you raise the XMP/EXPO overclock speed.

Here is the G.Skill RAM Configurator for your motherboard model:

For 32GB, 2 x 16GB is best.
